Burniske, in his latest statement, asserted that the crypto sector often experiences its most significant advancements during bear markets. He emphasized that constraints, a clear vision and a strong grasp of reality are the driving forces behind the innovations necessary for the crypto space to progress continuously.
Stablecoin supremacy
Within the realm of the current financial system, the expert pointed out that stablecoins represent a sector deserving most of the attention. He noted that the exploration of stablecoins, ranging from centralized to decentralized, and catering to both retail and institutional audiences, is still in its infancy.
One noteworthy recent development is PayPal’s entry into the stablecoin arena with PYUSD. Despite a relatively quiet market environment, the stablecoin has gained substantial traction since its launch just last month. This stablecoin is expected to be accessible on prominent platforms like Coinbase, Kraken and Huobi, ensuring widespread availability and liquidity.
More controversially, however, PayPal’s PYUSD has even piqued the interest of the U.S. Fed, which has issued an official warning to banks and financial institutions regarding potential transaction constraints related to this digital asset.
